H.R. No. 2207
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Faithful Friends Animal-Assisted Therapy Ministry
is dedicated to spreading happiness and comfort through visits with
pets; and
WHEREAS, Faithful Friends was founded in 1993 by Shari
Ferguson as a ministry of University Baptist Church in Clear Lake
City; over the past decades, the organization has provided myriad
opportunities for individuals in challenging situations to spend
time with animals, and in so doing, it has helped people of all ages
to improve their well-being and outlook; and
WHEREAS, Volunteers take properly trained dogs, cats, and
other animals for visits to local hospitals, support groups, and
other facilities, including schools and nursing homes; they bring
their pets to elementary and intermediate schools, where children
are provided with an opportunity to practice vocabulary and reading
skills by reading to the animals, and they visit long-term care
facilities in the area, giving residents a chance to enjoy the
numerous benefits of interacting with animals on a regular basis;
and
WHEREAS, The more than 300 volunteers of Faithful Friends
Animal-Assisted Therapy Ministry work to bring comfort and
enriching experiences to many people facing difficult
circumstances, and they indeed deserve special recognition for
their good deeds; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Faithful Friends Animal-Assisted
Therapy Ministry and extend to its volunteers sincere best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
